Characteristics of Healthy and Unhealthy Relationships — Quiz

Question 6 • Contemporary Health

Which relationship is most affected by media?

Answer

Jimi and Steven do not have much interest in romantic comedies and rarely watch them. They find that those movies create expectations that are impossible or unfair.

Sada and Violet enjoy watching romantic comedies together. However, Violet constantly compares their relationship to the unrealistic standards portrayed in these movies.

Emily and Jack watch romantic comedies together and enjoy discussing the plots and characters. However, they understand that these movies are fictional and not a relationship guide.

Tomás and Raquel often watch romantic comedies with a critical eye. They try to avoid playing out the tropes that they see on screen within their own relationship.

Explanation

Media is most likely to affect a relationship when someone uses what they see on screen as a standard for real life. Violet constantly compares her relationship with Sada to the unrealistic expectations in romantic comedies, so those movies can shape how she views their relationship. The other couples either rarely watch the movies or recognize and resist their influence.
